I second these sediments. Very fortunate he lived after that kind of crash.

I bet his grandson is PISSED.

but really...in Germany, do they not have to retake their driving tests every so often to keep their license? I know obtaining them there is a lot harder and more expensive than here in the US, so chances are, even though he was 80, he was probably just fine to drive.

Yup, very rare and expensive now days.

The Ferrari F40 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door coupé sports car produced by Ferrari from 1987 to 1992 as the successor to the Ferrari 288 GTO. From 1987 to 1989 it was Ferrari's fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car. The car had no traction control, and was one of the few to utilize turbochargers.
The car debuted with a factory suggested retail price of approximately US$400,000, although some buyers were reported to have paid as much as US$1.6 million. A total of 1,315 F40s were produced.

I wonder how much his insurance pays him?
